The blues is a double-edged sword. At first, the style is very easy to learn; a few moveable chords to get comfortable, a simple 1-4-5 progression to apply those chords over, and a single minor pentatonic or blues scale to start soloing with, over that progression. You’d be hard pressed to find a quicker, more satisfying way to start making good music with the guitar. But then one day you wake up and everything you play sounds tired, boring and un-creative. You don’t even have the energy to pick up the guitar anymore. Happens to ALL of us. The only cure for all that ails your blues playing is a bagful of fresh perspective, creative insight along with the new harmonic and technical tools to put it all in play on the fretboard.

"Buster B. Jones is the best fingerpicker I’ve heard since Jerry Reed. He plays like he’s double parked." Chet Atkins
"Buster B. Jones is an acoustic player, a fingerpicker, a country flavored soloist, and he’s one of the finest players we've heard in years… His technique is only a means to an end. His true gifts are his melodic sense, innate musicianship, unfailing human, and brilliant improvisational powers. He can drive a tune with fluid rhythmic force or stroke it with sensuous, loving touch… He’s a monster player with chops galore, great ideas and an encyclopedic reservoir of guitaristic influences."
